i did when i was roaming the streets of new york alone last year. there are all of these memorials that will be taking place, but i don't want to go alone... and i don't want to go with others. it's hard being apart of something so large and feeling like no one else understands. i don't hate middle eastern men. i don't even really hate terrorists. i don't want a war. i can't waive a flag. rudy is still a nazi bastard. and, i refuse to join a socialist cult just to share a few beliefs. i'm at a loss. |
the human horror didn't end there. it continues in afghanistan and iraq. life for life, i'm sure we're 'ahead' at this point. lives are extinguished, bank accounts are enriched. . . that's what wednesday is all about for me. |
There was part one of a doco about the survivors on last Thursday. It really upset me. I might be on the other side of the world, but I still have empathy. |
No propaganda. This is going to be all about propaganda for the War on Everybody. |

the same subway at a few minutes to nine. walking over to the steps of the INS building and looking up at where they used to be. i didn't look up at them that morning i walked into my building listening to this guy explain to me how people were going to try and blame it on terrorists, but he knew that it was just a freak accident. i didn't get to see his face or hear his theory when our building was shaking from the second plane hitting. maybe i'll go upstairs and visit my old friends... then maybe i'll walk uptown and remember walking uptown with thousands of other people. then i'll go to the hospital and try to donate blood and be refused and then i'll buy an orange gatorate and m&ms to help me through the next few hours of sitting in a park and wondering what to do. i don't know if i ever told you guys this, but i was touched that you called me. |
But I guess when I called I did it simply because I had to know if you were all right. I tried getting ahold of swine's # but never was able to. |
probably like some company, too. |
with all the bullshit and the media hype, it seems like they planned it this way |
|
I don't know, since last year, I've just had this general malaise which I can't quite define -- not depression really, but just a kind of world-weariness and lethargy, a different kind of sadness than when my wife passed, but a sadness nonetheless -- broader and and not directed at any one thing or reason. See, I told you I couldn't define it. Anybody else kind of feeling that way? |
|

|
Im definitely a more angry person. Seriously...if it were just me and Cheney in a room alone...id find the envelope for the heart condition of his and rip it open. Actually, id probably spend a few months in jail just to get my hands around his throat even for five seconds while Secret Service pulls me off. |
for Constitutional rights on a publicly accessible message board? Hope they don't come for you. |
instead of just reflecting on just the loss of life and subsequent retribution, reflect on the subsequent losses we have suffered AFTER 9/11. Think of everything that has been taken away subsequently and tell me WHY arent we in the streets? As far as Im concerned, what Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft and Tom Ridge have done subsequently is just as criminal as what the terrorists did a year ago. |
Who knows with any luck I might actually make it in on time. Right!! I'll still feel just as miserable as I do every morning. I will most likely avoid all the memorial services they have planned!!! I'm still mad as all hell at the terrorists. And, the losses of so many souls depress me. |
|
im not worried. if they come for me because i despise our vice president enough to make a comment about wanting to kick his ass, but Im clearly too pussy (and smart) to actually do anything about it i expect you all to commence a huge protest ala Mumia style. |
|
Vedder will be on it. |
you, you ass!" over and over, and over.... |

boo! |

I did. |
And I was *really* impressed that they got 5000+ planes out of the skies in 2.5 hours, without a single error. As much as I hate sensationalism, and the media, I was glad that there has been so much coverage, and from so many perspectives. When you study past wars and such, you have to dig and dig to find out how such and such a group experienced X event, from their perspective.....you know, "what did Northern farmers' wives go through during the Civil War?" But now, you're learning about it as it happens....the farmers' wives are being interviewed on TV. It's like a history thesis paper enfolding in front of you. |
The winds, at all three locations, though rationally explained, represented something greater to me. What ultimately jerked a salty one was the image of a mother, holding her 2-3 year old son, lollipop in one hand, flag in the other, at the WTC site. I think it was coming. I remembered how I felt last year. Combined with everything that has happened this year. You can be positive, retribution has been served up in terms of innocent Afghan lives, on top of the liberties denied here. Its the futility and the failures of the leaders that be that get me the most. |
the new Afghan emerges http://us.news2.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20020912/capt.1031800327.afghanistan_cannabis_harvest_xmk103.jpg About a month and a half ago, getting off a red eye from NYC and going straight to a party, i found myself being introduced to a breed of weed called "Afghan Koush" (sp?). One hit and my body tingled. If this is the new cash crop from Afghanistan...if the cycle will continue and the "War on Drugs" will replace the "War on Terrorism" in Afghanistan, i welcome it, because its some funky shit they grow over there. |
I know, I'm stupid. |
It has become the poster case for human rights to many celebs here in America...along with Tibet, not to diminsh either cases crediability. |
|
im not schooled enough in the facts to be convinced either way . however, i generally trust Amnesty's opinion on these matters. |
|
Go here -- http://citypaper.net/articles/030200/cb.citybeat.mumia.shtml. It has a link to the transcript of Mumia's trial. |
But if you go to http://www.danielfaulkner.com, you'll get the information on the man he shot. Read it - it's informative. |
The Afgan in the pic you had a link too looks like he is enjoying his product! |
|
pfffft and they say our cynicism died a year ago. |
|
|
that said, it still turns my stomach to hear our leaders try to act so pious and squeaky clean. especially this particular leader. |
to enjoy a steak, i have to not think about how it used to course with blood on the bone of a bull. i think it extrapolate that out and you accept the righteousness of an otherwise evil organization without moral bankruptcy. maybe. or so i tell myself. |
i like to think that, behind closed doors, his cabinet shushes him and generally treats him like a subordinate. |
|
The UN is becoming irrelevent. 11 years of "resolutions", and 11 years of breaking resolutions, so what is the suggestion? More resolutions? There are no countries today that have any business setting in judgement of other countries. You have to pick the lessor of evils today. |
|
|
"but what about.... but......but we did too...... but....." don't you love the carrot he gave to the UN with UNESCO? Even I had to say "huh?" wtf is UNESCO. They dug deep for that one. spunk how can you say this "I thought his speech was right on target" and then say this: "There are no countries today that have any business setting in judgement of other countries." This is what I mean. You make a no sense man. His entire speech WAS a judgement. |
dumb and dumber. jon stewart did a funny bit on the speech last night. jon stewart rules. |
yes, Jon Stewart does rule. |
You think it is all about the US attacking Iraq????? You think it is going to stop there? Do you honestly beleive for a minute that the US is the only country that is going to be prosecuting the current war that has no ending? Wake up. The future is here. It is war. It's the perfect set up for the new transistion that started over 200 years ago. The UN is irrelevent. No amount of Pontification and Speachifying and Resolutions and verbal agreements will solve anything. |
FEMA has a secret plan to build emergency cities that could house millions of Americans - after our cities are attacked by weapons of mass destruction. If the U.S. invades Iraq, Saddam has already told the U.S. how he will retaliate and what weapons he will use. |
i read the transcript, so i missed out on the goofy guy. france is on our side now. france. |
god damn, talking with you is like trying to communicate with amoeba. |
I beleive his speech was right on. the UN is irrelevent. Meaningless, toothless, and made up entirely of hypocates only interested in plundering the wealthy and adding to their own coffers. No country, past or present, is "clean" or "innocent" enough to sit in judgement of another country. But to let a regime (I was trying to find another word, but I will go with that for now) such as Iraq continue a dangerous build up is suicide. |
Spunk you say no one is innoncent enough to judge yet thats exactly what the President did dumbass. |
|
|
What the hell does Clinton have to do with any of this? You made a post at 9:20am the contradicted itself. Thats all i addressed. You are chasing your own tail man, which is why, if you havent, PLEASE get off the pills. |
|
That was from a couple of days ago. |
now is the time on sprockets when we dance. . . |
go ahead! touch my monkey |
|
|
"But to let a regime (I was trying to find another word, but I will go with that for now) such as Iraq continue a dangerous build up is suicide." "whats more dangerous about Saddam's build up than ours, or North Korea's or Iran's? " dictatorship with nothing to loose and no one to answer to (saddams),checks and balances (no one person can make the call) whose leadership can be disolved instantly, dictatorship..... |
who do you think governs Iran and North Korea? |
if you believe everything you read in the liberal rags, saddam is a nice guy. that's why the thinkin people think you LA bohemes are boneheads. |
bohemes? Iran has a moderate/reformist president overruled by fanatical clerics. Women are oppressed under this government, political freedom is limited, and under this government all kinds of human rights are broken, torture is practiced on a regular basis. pretty good government system eh? why are they rioting over there? why are they imprisoning anyone who speaks out against their government? i don't read liberal rags nor do i believe saddam is a "nice guy". are you drunk? |
anyway, fuck you patty. we all know you jerk off to chomsky. we know your kind. smoking your marijuana cigarettes and praying for peace. WELL IT AIN'T FUCKING POSSIBLE, MACKY. men are evil. we need to kill them. period. |
I can finally say I have some respect for Chretien. |
at theonion.com? Also, when Kazoo and I live together, will you come and stay in our cupboards? |
heehee, I can be the Indian in the Cupboard! :) |
|
|
i want to make stoneriffic 5.1 mixes, goddamnit. |
The US side is down right now, but here is the UK site |
you're not making and sense, spunky. you should really kick those sleeping pills. |
also, i have sequoia and there's an ac3 encoder plugin for sequoia that i've seen but don't have. i'll keep my eyes open and send the stuff to you on cd if i can get it. i always thought that was for dvd ripping, which i have no interest in. so, you got the fancy new multichannel audio thingy? |
i'll get my email to you. i bet it would go through. |
go here, get the zip and read the .nfos. there's a folder with a cracked version that i installed and it appears to work. there's also another version that you have to monkey around with to get working. i give you both. |
